Oliver! is a musical retelling of Dickens' famous novel, Oliver Twist. The plot concerns the adventures of an orphan boy in 19th century London as he escapes abusive treatment in an orphanage and joins a group of pickpockets. Songs include "Where is Love," "It's a Fine Life," "I'd Do Anything," and of course the haunting "As Long As He Needs Me."

The show originally opened in London's West End in 1960, and ran for over 2600 performances. It came to the U.S. for a national tour in 1962, followed by a Broadway production opening in 1963. Oliver! has had a number of revivals in London and New York, and has been a staple of regional theaters for decades. Many of the show's themes seem very current to the 21st century, and the music is familiar and timeless.
